Write a short script (15–20 lines) that creates an imagined scene between two or three characters. the scene should show a universal theme, such as "friends and defend each other” or "fights can last a long time.” be sure to set the mood of your scene by using stage directions to show how characters should interact with one another.

it was after midnight and peter did not understand why alice is arguing with him about dogs being superior to cats. "all the animals are good and kind," said peter, as he ran his hand over his head and took two steps forward, visibly irritated. "you have to be a very miserable person not to realize this," peter concluded.   when she was called miserable, alice was visibly disturbed, got up from her chair and said loudly, "this is just my opinion, you do not have to call me miserable because of that. our discussions should be done in a civilized way, but you clearly do not know it "

alice left the room and was about to get out of the apartment, feeling very offended by the words used by pedro, as she took the keys from her purse to open the door, petro followed her and said: "i'm sorry, i should not have called you a miserable person for a silly thing like that. i'm very sorry and i do not want our friendship to be ruined by it. why do not you come back, have coffee and i'll tell you how cats are so wonderful as dogs? "

alice smiled and sat down on the couch again. friends should not quarrel. "cats can have a certain charm." she said as peter began to make coffee.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
